Communism and socialism are not the same thing. France and Norway are very socialist but they are not communists. Living in a Communist country is like a real life version of being a Society actor in the film 'Gamer'.

North Koreans Need U.S. Help To Overthrow Kim Jong Un, Defector Says
The United States should help North Koreans defeat their oppressor Kim Jong Un — but with words, not with bombs, a high-ranking North Korean defector told congress on Wednesday.

U.S. lawmakers must start a low-tech propaganda campaign inside hermetically sealed North Korea rather than attacking the country militarily, Thae Yong Ho, a former North Korean ambassador who escaped to South Korea in 2016, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

President Donald Trump and Kim have threatened to attack in recent months, stirring fears that a nuclear war could break out. Ho’s "info war" is a departure from a traditional military approach, but experts say it could work if the U.S. can understand what it's truly up against: a rogue state impenetrable by modern means.

That could well be it, USA might have done a strike and claimed it as tunnel collapse,while NK denies it and will be called as Communist Propaganda, either way "'It's heads you lose, Tails i win" , unless NK pulls off something unexpected and wild like a true Maverick.
